Great Seat for the Price
by Malukey's Mom 2008-10-28
We purchased this seat for my 13 month old, who is a little small for his size. That said, he fits great in this seat. He is able to see over the sides and appears comfortable on fairly long rides (as he has fallen asleep on many occasions). It is definitely a plus that the seat reclines for better positioning depending upon if he is sleeping or awake. Also he can rest his head comfortably with his helmet on. Since the seat attaches to a bike rack this fits excellent on my husband's Trek bike. Initially, we had purchased a more expensive seat that did not require a bike rack but it did not fit on his bike because of the angle of his frame. The only reason I did not give this a 5 star rating is because the foot rest is a little flimsy and the bolt on the back (where you adjust the height of the footrest) came loose and fell off during a bike ride from my son moving his feet while strapped in. The other reason is no storage...there are other seats that provided some storage for essential baby items :o)

Child Seat
by Clifford Nickerson 2008-09-15
Easy enough to install and a very safe seat. A friend has one and he had a bike accident carrying his 2 year old. The child did not touch the ground, not a scratch. Seat came through okay, too. It sold me, I ordered one the same day.

Nice seat - really hard to install
by Sonja 2008-08-19
I have this seat as well as the iBert (front mounted) bike seat. One of the big pros of this seat is that I feel it's a little safer because of the high back and sides. (knock on wood) I've never been in an accident or had the bike fall with one of my girls on the bike, but if we were, I feel that they would be fairly well protected. Another pro is the fairly high weight limit (40 pounds) and that it is very roomy. My 3 year old fits in it with no problem. I will say that we removed the adjustable feet height thingies because with them in, there wasn't enough width in the space for their shoes.
The biggest downside of this seat is the installation. It is a big pain. On the upside, the rack that the seat snaps into can be used for other things once you're done with the seat. Another upside is that if you have multiple bikes, you can install the rack on each of them, and pop the seat from one bike to another with no problem. For instance, in a two parent household where each parent has a bike. But that rack is a nightmare to install. It took me multiple hours to get it on the first bike. The second went slightly faster because I'd done it once, but since it was a different bike, it had some different issues, and it was still over an hour to get it on, plus I had to get extenders for the metal brackets, which my neighbor also had to do with one of his installs, each of which was lengthy, too. So definitely set aside some time for this install. In other words, don't tell your kid, "Oh, the bike seat is here! Let me put it on real quick and we'll go for a bike ride!"
All of that being said, it is a nice seat, and we like it, and I'd have no problem recommending it to anyone.

Safe and secure
by J. Hodgkins 2008-06-03
This seat is easy to slip on and off and seems very comfortable for my 9 month old son. I love the fact that my husband can take a turn riding with him (with an additional rack purchased seperately). He always falls asleep when we go on a ride! The seat makes it easy to ride with him in tow, you hardly notice the additional weight. It is easy to load him onto the back while holding the bike. I like the easy to use strap and the safety bar that lowers in front of him. It also keeps him far enough behind me to keep him from messing with me when we are on our ride. It easily allows for his helmet too. I can't think of any complaints...
